FM transmitter site maintenance check list

I developed these check lists for FM transmitter site based on experience and what needs to be checked, how often it needs to be checked and what else can go wrong. This checklist is for a generic FM transmitter site with a back up transmitter and an RF STL. Every site is different, so some things on this would likely need to be changed or adapted depending on equipment and other facilities.
